Are you guys going to add any more avatars for us to use? Specifically fs2 ones...
-
Good idea, I'll look into it - but thats not a promise.
-
Personally, I would like to keep in the HLP tradition that avatars are earned by work on projects, and titles by our (admin) discretion, as priveliges. But we'll yet see. :)
-
Yeah, that would be better I think. :)

I agree whit meat ball erm...Setekh here:D
That we stick to the HLP tradition.....

Ok, we're going to experiment with this. A limited amount of avatars from the FS universe chosen by us will be added for selection to the forum. If people whine about them or mis-use them then the ability will be disabled and we'll go back to how it was before.

On careful thought (okay, about ten minutes' worth), I have to agree with Setekh on this one. Basicly, having a project avatar identifies people as belonging to a project (or in some people's cases, three!). It also picks out the admins very well. It could be argued that admins are already hilighted pretty well because they have the HLP logo.

Avatars uploaded - I took the liberty of only making them available to people with over 50 posts on the forum, this'll stop people who only want to post once taking up space with avatar info without being to restrictive. I hope you like them :)
-
*hrm*
On second thought, having a Mara for an avatar is kinda nice. ;)
My hypocrisy is exposed! Nice selection, Thunder.
-
Yup, very cool :D
-
Hmm, how about a PVF Horus? :) ;)

Pay attention :)
Glad the rest of you like them...

C'mon, te3ll me, what would I get!?
Please, please, pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssssseeee???????????:D;)
-
Heh, I'm not whining or complaining;Sobek's good enough for me...just making a suggestion :)
I think you chose pretty good Avatars, actually.
How about reserving a select few for admin peoples, ie Juggernaughts(sp?)/destroyers and, of course, AWACS :D.
-
I know, I was just saying :)
Oh - and Shrike chose most of the avatars - I just rendered them.
And the ships are supposed to be public only. Hosted site people will (eventually) get their hosted site icons back and admins will stick with their HLP avatars.
We may make changes - so keep suggestions coming, just don't whine ;)
-
Just kidding here, but shouldn't there be one for Nodewar? :D
-
Yeah, have this on it... I'm Generic! or something....
(I like my avatar...:D)

Oups, sorry, didn't see this post, I posted about that in another thread :(
sorry
Anyway, i agree with Setekh, but I'm a bit hypocrttrtccrcrrwhatever, coz I'm assured to have... two avatars :p
-
Actually, I've seen this, and well, it re-iterates what I thought before. Man, that JPG compression is bad. :D
Anyway, that's still my opinion; but if you really like 'em, fine. :)
PS. Node War should have one. I'll go make one. :)
-
If you don't like them you remake them ;)
Oh and it's not jpeg compression - it's the contrast. They couldn't be seen on a black background easily without nocking it up a few notches....
Anyways - avatars are still an experiment - depending on what we can do for the hosted site people we might remove them completely again or keep them. Time shall tell!
